I played FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Demo and I'm a *sucker* for how well the characterization and hints were made for "Those who know". And while it can go from obvious stuff to spoiler stuff, I think it's worth to make a highlight of these to appreciate the work and details put into my favorite reveal of FF7 (specially with how much shit we can give them from time to time about changing stuff that we don't like etc etc.)
(Also I love the novel and everyone should read it, but don't worry, it's not mandatory to understand the story as a whole, just add stuff to the world)
Clouds gloves change when he's on the ground in front of his mom's house
Literally one of the coolest parts is when clouds house explodes, and he is blasted into the exact spot that the shinra Guard is as if to point to the fact he is that guard. So cool
I know right? I first saw it in video and I think I was distracted so didn't catch until I play it on my own and was very pleased with already seeing and hearing real Cloud lying there, but the way it merged into one was amazing, love things like that
Awesome!! I knew everyone who knows would notice
Wow. I'll never stop saying this: you've got such a good eye, Dro. Some of these details I hadn't noticed before. You're fuelling my excitement for this game. And l love your understanding of characterization and world building, as it's not a common skill among people. No joke. Nicely done, as always.
Thank you once again Light! Since the TGS days I was truly happy with Cloud characterization and how hard they went with the twist portrayal so I think it deserves to be highlighted and mentioned (while the novel parts was a pleasant surprise as it's my favorite one).
It's actually one of my pet peeves the wrong assumptions or wild interpretation of characters so I make sure to never get influenced by my biased thoughts to spread a wrong interpretation or something about one
When cloud is on the ground in front of his moms house after bwing blown away. His gloves and outfit change to a grunts uniform before changing back to a soldiers. More hints that he is misremembering
That specific bit might have been my favorite because how sneaky and detailed it was about all of that as you mentioned. Very gratifying to watch
Fun thing I noticed, well more a little theory, is when Sephiroth says "am I even a Human being" that's the exact moment Genesis shows up in Crisis Core but in Rebirth/demo it fades to black cause Zack gets Briefly knocked out by a Genesis attack so probably doesn't recount it fully for Cloud to use that memory.
I do know there was a pleasent surprise by many to not see the Crisis Core version of adding Genesis into this dramatic scene 😅
@@DroWarriorOfLight He is a divisive character to say the least I know haha but at this point, considering how the story has left Genesis, I think the people who hate him just have to accept that he will appear at some point and probably be a important character to some extent maybe not in rebirth but def in part 3.
I mean, they gave Dirge Of Cerberus Enemies of all things a return so I can’t see them passing up the opportunity of doing something big with Genesis. He is one of the few left that has a close history with Sephiroth. Personally feel Crisis Core gets too much hate but that’s the FF community for you, we all got our faves/most hated haha
@@guitarwizard123 I totally can see and wouldn't mind them using Compilation characters done well. The best example is Cissnei, it just makes sense for her to appear near Gongaga, and her confirmation is a very much welcomed one. Everything similar to that? Then sure! why not
Dirge might be a mess, but their small cameos in the Yuffie DLC was pretty fine, and more importantly super fun to play against, which an important point.
I really enjoyed the demo! They went above and beyond my expectations, I knew they were gonna do a great job but this is very special. I'm very excited to see what the full game has in store for us.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! I remember that during the TGS days, when I saw the couple of cutscenes showing Cloud behaving like that and many of my worries went away because the details were so on point, so this whole demo was such a good experience for me already ♥
Sephiroth mentions to “Cloud” if he would like to say anything to the buster sword. Zack would tell it “Embrack your dream”
1 or 2 little details you missed regarding not cloud/cloud.
In the truck when not cloud talks to the trooper and he answers its the same voice actor.
In his mums house she mentions his trooper uniform
Also, if you look closer, the trooper's hair is blonde.
I love it; actually, one of the scenes I wanted to see the most in a potential remake for a while was the real moment of Cloud visiting his mother with his grunt outfit. I always got the impression that she being all excited about his son and his SOLDIER outfit with a Cloud flustered about it, meant to be that he was feeling bad instead because it *wasn't* a SOLDIER outfit and maybe hesitate to tell her the truth. So I hope eventually there's a better/accurate version of it during the reveal or something
Just platinumed the VII Remake on PS4 again.
Won't be able to play Rebirth at launch but I am already certain I will enjoy it much more than the Remake.
Aye congrats, man! Just in time to experience Rebirth (playing it or not)
It makes you wonder how much more little nods we can see around without realizing. I'm hoping for some Evan appearances, now that Cissnei is confirmed (and probably glen)
If we include many supplementary media around, then bring my son Denzel please! I'd put the geostigma crisis in Part 3
Anyone noticed the flower at Tifas house entrance??? The one that you give her when you see her.
That is cute, a friend pointed me that out. Along a polygon model of a shinra grunt around. I guess I should be also paying attention to those small secrets to collect eventually hohoho
UPDATE: I didn't mention this one in the video, but remember how in the OG game at Tifa's room there's also a letter from the kids? Well, in this demo we don't have that one to read but it appears in the novel itself, if you are curious. Basically the kid treats Tifa as his gf so she's fuming and go to train with Zangan immediatly to blow some steam lmao (which leads into more teachings from him about controlling her rage)
No one taught me or y'all this. But… In order to use Cloud’s Spin Attack and Thrust Attack. You must,”Hold Down Square”. ☝️ You’re welcome. I never knew about this until yesterday 🤷 I fight better and keel faster without Holding Down Square though. Cloud fights too low for my style. But it was nice to finally learn it 😤
Yeah, there are some small extra techniques besides the abilities. Holding square for a spin more "AoE" attack is something that carries from remake, meanwhile there's also the long range attack Cloud has that is clicking square as soon after you dodge with O; He'll start swinging like crazy throwin blade beams. Details to look forward to per character.
OH man, with this I realized how much I'd like a type of Boss battle with Tifa and Zangan in part 3 (To unlock her final weapon or limit maybe) in some fashion. He seems to have much more focus now
They should bring him back for something cinematic like that, it could be sad if they want to continue with the idea that he can't walk, but if we get to talk to him for more ToTP callbacks then heck ye
You can eat a sandwich up to three times and every time Cloud gets more and more full. I think the woman aso mentions Cloud's mom. I wondered whether it meant anything. Anyways a nice detail.
Might be related to her helping to make them for a while, although I could check if there was something more obscure being referenced 😅 thanks!
I believe when you (Zack) talks to the trooper near the back of the truck and the trooper says something it sounds as the same voice actor of Cloud (at least in the English vocals)
That seems to be the case for many people, yes! I'm hesitant to show it because I'm not good at recognizing and couldn't tell for sure. It would be really funny if they decided to really do that, tho 😅
Talk to the guards in front of the village one uses Zacks voice and talks about his girlfriend.
I thought about that one! In Japanese he asks for an "Osananajimi" which is basically the term Chilhood Friend or Girl next door that Cloud and Tifa were always associated with.
I thought it didn't fit the categories but certainly is another nice sneaky wink
That's why I looked at the comments before I said anything 😂 you nailed it 👌 It's like the infantryman you talk to actually is Zack there at the start of nibelheim. Nice little detail they added there 😊
I noticed that too. It seems to confirmed that how Cloud's false memories worked in that Zack and Cloud POV will actually switched in certain moments.
GOTY already
When you go home to meet Claudia,her speech is very similar or even the same like aerith mom was speaking in remake if i remember correctly. Showing how messed up clouds memory is
Edit: or was it some flashbacks.....i dont know as i played it few years ago
Oh! I think I know what you mean. In Remake Cloud sleeps at Aerith's house and has a dream about this speech from Claudia. But yeah, it was indeed his own mother referencing this same flashback.
I *think* the conversation matches, and this is only an extended version of it, although with his messed up memories of having flashes of it.
Try eating more sandwiches
For someone like me who has seen and noticed all of the hints you mentioned is fine only because I got the OG memorized but please put SPOILER warnings on thumbnail for the others
Sephirot turning evil always seemed lame tbh
Wow the English version really wins for those kids copying each other
